Former Olympic soccer stars hosting camp in Bentonville

Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly and Tisha Hoch have five Olympic gold medals, five World Cup titles and 12 NCAA championships between the three of them.

Next month the trio will host Team First Soccer Academy in Bentonville at Memorial Soccer Park, home of Arkansas Select.

"I am most appreciative that Mia, Kristine, Tish, and their coaching staff chose to come to NWA for their all girls camp this June. Team First Soccer Academy holds a very limited number of camps across the US during the year. Having such high profile soccer legends and role models directly interacting with the young campers is not only great for raising the level of awareness for this beautiful game in NWA, But for our region as well," said Donovan Willis with Arkansas Select.

The girls only soccer camp is dedicated to providing girls and young women an opportunity to develop as individual players within a disciplined and unselfish team environment.

"We all see the game in such different ways, but there's this underlying belief that team always came first," said Mia Hamm in an exclusive interview with 40/29 news.
